鈥淥nce people have talked and introduced each other among their table peers, is where we will have questions for discussion regarding accessibility of local, fresh food,鈥� explained Amanda Smith, one of the c0-organizers. 鈥淔ood insecurity is becoming more of a topic for discussion within the 91原创鈥檚, and also, the topic of a Neighbourhood House that could possibly service these areas. Let us hear your opinions.鈥�
